The Burning of Schwab
False Flags, False Hope, Water as the new Gold.
Schwab OUT — former Nestlé CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe IN as interim chairman of the WEF.
🌐 The Empire Behind the Curtain: Why the Fall of Schwab Is Not a Win
“The World Economic Forum is teetering on the brink of Davos disaster,” wrote Jeff Childers, reflecting on Klaus Schwab’s abrupt resignation amid a corruption scandal. To many, it appeared to mark the collapse of globalism. But in reality, it’s just a limited hangout, a staged narrative to offer false hope and preserve the deeper system.
The allegations? Lavish spending, private villas, and nonprofit funds funneled into personal indulgences. But the real scandal is what this distraction conceals. Schwab’s exit doesn’t dismantle the technocratic beast. It merely changes its mask.
Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, recently named interim Chairman of the World Economic Forum, is a veteran Austrian executive with deep roots in the Forum’s leadership. But behind the polished résumé lies a troubling alignment with agendas that signal where the global system is heading next.
🚰 Water is the New Gold
💧“Access to water is not the problem. It's the mismanagement and commodification of water that’s the real threat to humanity.”
🔮“Brabeck’s appointment at the WEF is not coincidence, it’s prophecy fulfilled for those who forecasted water as the ultimate lever of control.”
✍️ Author’s note:
During my tenure as Research Director, working closely with consumer advisory services like Iconoculture, I was exposed to strategic forecasts that declared: water will be the new gold. These think tanks, embedded in elite trend research and media planning, made it clear—he who controls the water, controls life. Their prediction wasn’t about scarcity; it was about planned scarcity and control. And that control is now being codified into policy, infrastructure, and ESG-aligned sustainability frameworks.
This trajectory is not speculative. The privatization of water has long been on the globalist agenda, with figures like Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, now interim chairman of the WEF and former Nestlé CEO, openly suggesting water should be treated as a commodity.
🌊 He is also known for his involvement in initiatives related to water resource management, having chaired the 2030 Water Resources Group, a public-private partnership under the World Bank.1
His views on water privatization have attracted public attention and debate. In a 2005 documentary, he suggested that water should be treated as a market commodity, a stance that sparked controversy.2
🇿🇦 In practice, we’re seeing this ideology weaponized. Across parts of Africa and South Africa, white farmers are now being denied water rights while multinational corporations continue extracting and exporting. This isn’t about justice or equality it’s about control and dispossession. The ESG model facilitates this shift, using environmental rhetoric to strip private individuals of access to basic resources while empowering corporate-state monopolies.
While global estimates claim only 10% of the world’s water is privatized, this number is misleading. Once Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are included, where corporations “partner” with governments to manage, price, and distribute water, the real influence of corporate actors becomes evident. PPPs allow for corporate control without accountability, cloaked in the veneer of public service. These hybrid models push the true figure closer to 25–30% or more, when considering influence and governance, not just ownership.3
🔹 Bottom line: Public-private “cooperation” is just privatization in slow motion. When corporations can co-write water policy, own distribution contracts, and enforce ESG compliance, all while hiding behind a state seal, they don’t need to buy the water. They already run the tap.
💰 Global elites have always sought a chokehold over the essentials of life, food, money, and now, water. But believers must recognize this for what it is:
the attempt to make man bow to the systems of men rather than depend on the provision of God.
Schwab was always the face of something much larger, a mechanism of what James Lindsay has termed Stakeholder Sovietism, where corporate power and government merge under the banner of 'stakeholder capitalism' to bypass democratic process alongside AI-enforced governance and ESG-based control. What looks like a fall from grace is simply technocracy shedding its skin. Globalism isn’t dying. It’s decentralizing into regional digital regimes and biometric identity webs.
As we’ve said before: when they say globalism is over, they mean regionalism is here. This isn’t defeat, it’s the next phase toward centralization.
🔥 This “burning of Davos” narrative is designed to give the public false hope, to make them think their freedom is being restored, that the technocrats are retreating. But the truth is, technocracy is the closed system, and we are in it now. It doesn’t need Schwab. It’s already embedded into the financial, digital, and cultural frameworks of every nation.
📢 Callout: The fact that Peter Brabeck-Letmathe is directly linked to the commodification & privatization of water points toward the next phase of the 'control of all life' machine. Water as the new gold has officially arrived.
🏛️ The Empire of the City: The Hidden Global Power Structure
The real power is not in presidents or parliaments, it lies in a tripod of sovereign city-states:
🇬🇧 The City of London (financial control),
🇺🇸 Washington D.C. (military enforcement), and
🇻🇦 Vatican City (ideological and religious influence).
These three entities form what researchers call the Empire of the City, operating outside national laws yet shaping global affairs. They house the key institutions—IMF, BIS, World Bank, UN agencies, central banks, defense departments, and ecumenical councils that steer the technocratic transition from the nation-state model to a digitally enforced global governance system.4
👑 The Disney-DeSantis Clash: When The Crown Overrides the Will of the People
One of the clearest recent examples of how the global system overrides democratic governance played out in Florida. Despite overwhelming support from the state legislature and public backing, Governor Ron DeSantis was unable to dismantle Disney’s special privileges after the company openly opposed parental rights legislation.
Why? Because Disney, while headquartered in the U.S., is deeply tied to Crown-controlled financial networks and supranational legal structures. When Florida attempted to revoke Disney’s self-governing status in the Reedy Creek Improvement District, Disney responded with a legal maneuver rooted in British common law, a “Royal Lives” clause that cited the descendants of King Charles III to lock in development control.5
This wasn’t just a legal quirk. It was a symbolic and literal demonstration that even the most powerful U.S. governors are subject to the hidden hand of transnational control. It confirmed that we are no longer living under representative government, but under corporate suprastate authority, where media giants, backed by sovereign financial powers like the City of London, can override local sovereignty.
From woke Snow White to land management loopholes, Disney remains protected not by the Constitution, but by a global legal-financial architecture designed to enforce ideological compliance and crush resistance. It’s a modern parable of how The Crown still rules, not from a throne, but through contracts, courts, and cultural capture. Read Armor of Truth’s article about the power of the Commonwealth today.
🤖 Columbia University: Incubator of the Technate
Few institutions have played a more pivotal role in birthing the technocratic age than Columbia University. Founded in 1754 as King’s College by royal charter of King George II, Columbia has long served as an elite pipeline for Crown-affiliated governance and global social engineering.6
It was at Columbia in the 1930s where the Technocracy movement formally took root, with figures like Howard Scott and M. King Hubbert proposing a North American Technate governed not by elected officials, but by engineers and scientists measuring society in energy units.7
But Columbia’s influence didn’t stop at technocracy. It became ground zero for the development of critical theory, hosting figures like Edward Said, whose post-colonial work fueled anti-Western sentiment and cultural deconstruction.8 It has produced a steady stream of revolutionaries, cultural subversives, and lawfare strategists, embedding globalist ideology in media, education, and policy. Its law school and education department are deeply embedded in advancing DEI mandates, SEL programming, and UN-aligned climate education, all of which dismantle biblical morality and constitutional liberty.
In short, Columbia is a Crown-adjacent institution that has incubated the very ideologies now used to dismantle the Christian worldview, destabilize the family, and reframe American governance as a threat to global order.
🕊️ The Spirit of Technocracy vs. The Spirit of Truth
This convergence of global systems is not new it is the latest form of humanity’s ancient rebellion. As St. Augustine explained in The City of God, history is the conflict between two cities: the City of Man, founded on pride and self-will, and the City of God, founded on submission to the Lord. Every centralized empire that seeks to redefine truth, morality, and power apart from God belongs to that City of Man.
Technocracy, like all human attempts to build utopia without divine authority, echoes the Tower of Babel, a unifying project rooted in man's desire to be his own god.
Francis Schaeffer, in Escape from Reason, argued that when society severs faith from truth, it reduces man to a machine, an object to be programmed, regulated, and controlled. This is exactly what the modern global regime does through digital identity, behaviorist education, and ESG metrics. Once transcendence is rejected, all that remains is mechanistic control. The rise of technocracy is not the rise of something new, it is the rebranding of the same old autonomy project, cloaked in the language of progress.
🌍 BRICS+: Controlled Opposition for a Controlled Collapse
While many celebrate the rise of BRICS+ as a challenge to Western hegemony, the reality is far more strategic. BRICS+ promotes multipolarity, but its aims align closely with those of the West’s elite: regionalized governance, digital currency infrastructure, and technocratic social management.
China’s digital yuan, India’s Aadhaar ID system, Brazil’s climate policies, these are not nationalistic uprisings. They are parallel implementations of the same surveillance and ESG-aligned frameworks seen in Europe and North America. The East-West binary is false. The real polarity is between those who submit to Christ and those who serve the world system.
BRICS+ is the globalist reset wearing a nationalist mask. It doesn’t offer liberation from the West, it offers a different interface to the same machine.
🕊️ A Biblical Call to Action
"The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light." (Romans 13:12)
In the face of global systems designed to subjugate the soul and erase truth, the believer’s call remains unchanged. As Jesus told His disciples, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
We are not here by accident. We have been appointed for this moment—to shine light in a world of deception and to stand as ambassadors of the eternal Kingdom. Christ’s commission was not just for an age past—it is our daily command: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19–20)
Let us not grow weary. Let us not be shaken. For though the systems of men may rise in rebellion, “the Lord sits enthroned forever” (Psalm 9:7), and “of His Kingdom there will be no end.” (Luke 1:33)
✝️ Be faithful. Be bold. Be of good cheer, the King is with us.
